FAQs

What does 'M16x1.5x12' mean for this oil sump plug?

M16 refers to the metric thread diameter (16mm). 1.5 refers to the thread pitch (1.5mm between threads). 12 refers to the length of the threaded portion (12mm).

Do I need to replace the seal ring every time I change the oil?

It is highly recommended to replace the seal ring with every oil change or whenever the sump plug is removed to ensure a reliable seal and prevent leaks. This plug comes with a seal ring.

Can I use this plug on any car?

No, this plug has specific dimensions (M16x1.5x12 thread). You must verify that these specifications match your vehicle's oil sump requirements before purchasing.

What brands are compatible with this Elring plug?

This plug is compatible with a wide range of vehicles from brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Opel, Ford, Renault, Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën, Nissan, Volvo, and Dacia, provided the thread size and type match.

How tight should I make the oil sump plug?

Always refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for the correct torque specification. Overtightening can strip the threads of the oil pan, leading to costly repairs.

What is the benefit of an 'inner rectangle bolt head'?

This type of bolt head is designed for specific tools, often found in professional automotive applications, ensuring a secure grip for tightening and removal and preventing cam-out.

Troubleshooting

Plug is difficult to thread.

Ensure the oil sump threads are clean and free of debris. Double-check that you have the correct thread size (M16x1.5x12). Do not force the plug; this could damage the threads.

Oil leak from the sump plug.

The seal ring may be damaged, missing, or improperly seated. Ensure the seal ring is present, correctly positioned, and intact. Check that the plug is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. If the leak persists, consider replacing the plug.

Incorrect tool needed for the bolt head.

The plug features an inner rectangle bolt head. Ensure you have the appropriate tool designed for this specific head type. Consult your vehicle's service manual if unsure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the vehicle's oil sump threads are clean and free of debris.
  2. Verify the Elring Oil Sump Screw Plug's specifications (M16x1.5x12 thread, bolt head type) match the existing or required plug for your vehicle.
  3. Apply a small amount of appropriate thread sealant if recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (check service manual).
  4. Hand-tighten the plug to ensure correct thread engagement, then use the appropriate tool to tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque. Overtightening can damage the oil pan threads.

Compatibility:

This plug is compatible with a wide range of vehicles, including models from Mercedes-Benz, Opel, Ford, Renault, Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën, Nissan, Volvo, and Dacia. Always confirm fitment by checking your vehicle's specifications and comparing them against the product's thread size (M16x1.5x12) and bolt head type before purchasing.

Care:

This is a non-wear part. Ensure the seal ring is in good condition before installation. After removal, clean the plug if it will be reinstalled (though replacement during oil changes is recommended for optimal sealing). Inspect the threads on both the plug and the oil pan for any signs of damage.
